Lapwings have featured in the valley in recent weeks, however, a visit to the valley this afternoon produced the highest count so far with an estimated 700+ Birds present. A passing
Buzzard spooked the birds into a spectacular mass of black and white above the fields.

| Fieldfare near the Watton Brook Valley 23 Feb. Soon to be returning to Scandinavia to breed. |
Also present, and scattered widely, was good numbers of Fieldfares, it won't be too long now before they are heading back to Scandinavia to breed. A flock of
400+
Starlings were mixed in with the Fieldfare.
Today I also saw my first displaying male
Greenfinch of the year in Watton, I love to watch their slow wing action and twisting and turning display over their chosen territory.
